Once everything was ready, the fishing officially began.
Chen Yong took the fishing rod that Yan Bugui had given him and looked it up and down. It was a thin bamboo pole with a fishing line and a hook tied to it. Before coming here, the fishing rod had been held by the other party, so he did not take a closer look. Could this kind of fishing rod really catch a big fish?
Especially that goose feather float. No matter how Chen Yong looked at it, he felt that it was out of place.
Forget it!
With the current conditions, he could forget about the carbon fiber fishing rod in the future. He would just make do with it. Since Yan Bugui was able to catch a big fish, it meant that there was something special about this fishing rod. It was better than going back like this.
Yan Bugui gave some of his bait to Chen Yong.
It was a few dead earthworms that were twisted together, and they smelled very smelly.
"Chen Yong, don't think that this earthworm is cheap. Let me tell you, fish love to eat this thing. This is your third uncle's exclusive secret recipe.”
Yan Bugui proudly boasted, as if Chen Yong had taken advantage of him.
As a fishing enthusiast, Chen Yong naturally knew that this stinky earthworm was a good bait. However, because this thing smelled too bad and looked very disgusting, it was not accepted by most people. Therefore, Chen Yong had never used this kind of bait.
After distributing the stinky earthworms, Yan Bugui took out a small paper bag.
Inside was the powder ground from dried earthworms. He made a nest for Chen Yong with a pained expression. Food was very expensive at this time. Yan Bugui could not bear to use food to make a nest, so he could only spend some time to make this earthworm powder.
Chen Yong did not refuse Yan Bugui's help.
Originally, Yan Bugui wanted to teach Chen Yong how to fish, but seeing that he was good at it, he shut his mouth and dismissed the idea. It seemed that Chen Yong's skills were quite good. He should have been fishing quite a lot in the past.
After Chen Yong put down the hook, he sat on the small stool that Yan Bugui had specially brought.
He wasn't in a hurry to use the white wine to soak the corn. He was going to test the effects of Yan Bugui's secret recipe first to see if it would be as easy to serve fish as described on the internet in the future.
It turned out that a lot of the news on the Internet was fake.
Chen Yong didn't know whether it was because earthworms were useless or because ice fishing was not suitable for this bait. He just sat there dumbly for more than 40 minutes, and the hook didn't move at all.
He had no choice. It seemed that he had to rely on himself.
Chen Yong didn't hesitate and took out a can from his small canvas bag.
The moment he opened the can, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, mixed with the sweet fragrance of corn. However, because he was sitting down, the fragrance was blown down, so Yan Bugui didn't smell anything.
He scooped up two spoonfuls and threw them into the hole. Then, he threw away the stinky earthworms on the hook and hung the corn on it.
The effect was very obvious. The goose feather float moved non-stop not long after the hook was hooked. It was obvious that there was a fish below to test it. Now, it was up to the fish to resist the temptation.
The facts proved that fish could not resist temptation.
In less than five minutes, the fishing float suddenly sank and disappeared. Chen Yong quickly raised the fishing rod. The fishing line was stretched taut, and the bamboo fishing rod bent down at a large angle.
This fish shouldn't be big, at most three catties.
Chen Yong could be considered an experienced fisherman. It was easy to determine the size of the fish by relying on the pulling force transmitted by the fish.
At this moment, Yan Bugui also noticed the situation.
He didn't expect Chen Yong to be so lucky to get his harvest earlier than him. It seemed that this fish wasn't small.
Yan Bugui also went over to help. After all, Chen Yong seemed to have good skills, but no one knew the actual situation. Everything had to be seen by the hands. Whether it was a mule or a horse, they had to be dragged out to test it out.
Moreover, that fishing rod was his treasure. He had to go over and take a look.
A fish of about three catties was not considered too small. If he pulled it forcefully, the fishing rod would very likely break. Of course, Chen Yong would not force it like a novice. Instead, he rhythmically loosened and tightened the fishing line. Even a veteran would have the skill to slide the fish.
"Crash."
Five minutes later, the exhausted fish was pulled up.
This was a big plate carp. It looked like it weighed about 2.3 to 4.5 pounds. It was a rare good item.
Yan Bugui had been watching silently from the side, including Chen Yong's method of slipping fish. This confirmed that Chen Yong's fishing skills were indeed good, and he was definitely an experienced fisherman.
Since he was a veteran, he did not need to worry too much.
Moreover, Chen Yong had already loaded the goods, which made him a little anxious. He quickly sat back down and continued to hook.
Chen Yong skillfully unhooked the hook, threw the fish into the bucket, and hooked the bait again. This set of movements was a little rusty. After all, he had not caught fish in the past few years.
However, after today's trip, he had experienced the joy of fishing again. He would definitely come more often in the future.
Knowing that Chen Yong was an experienced fisherman, Yan Bugui was actually very happy. Looking at Chen Yong's excitement just now, he must be a frequent fisherman. Wouldn't he have another free driver in the future?
Besides, Chen Yong was so well-off. He might even be able to freeload on meals often in the future.
When he thought of freeloading, he remembered that Chen Yong was going to provide food tonight. He did not know what food he had brought, how much he had brought, or whether it was enough for both of them to eat.
Yan Bugui didn't eat much in the afternoon, and he didn't have dinner because he was going fishing. His stomach was already growling with hunger, so he wasn't in the mood to fish. His mind was focused on what food Chen Yong would bring.
"Crash."
At this moment, the sound of water could be heard. Yan Bugui immediately turned his head to look.
Good fellow, really good fellow.
It turned out that Chen Yong had brought another fish. This fish was also a carp, but it was not as big as the previous one. It was only the size of an adult's palm and weighed no more than eight taels.
The fish here were all wild, unlike those in the reservoir in the future.
Yan Bugui was very familiar with this place. He knew that there weren't many fish in this river, but there were many people fishing. He didn't expect that Chen Yong would catch two fish in a row on his first trip here. The fish were not small either.
Was this guy really that lucky?
Yan Bugui couldn't care less about anything else. The other party had already served two fish, but he hadn't opened his store yet. If he didn't fish properly and this guy served more fish later, he would lose a lot of face.
Chen Yong didn't feel anything special.
In his opinion, he had only caught two fish, so it was not something worth showing off.
If others knew about his thoughts, they would probably vomit blood in anger. Many people here could not catch two fish in a day. Even if they caught one, it was usually less than one catty.
Nowadays, the fish in the river were all wild, and there was no need for the relevant departments to put in fish fry to protect them.
At this time, the quality of the fishing rod was limited. Unlike the fishing rod of the later generation, it was difficult to catch fish that weighed more than five catties. This greatly limited the harvest of people fishing. In many cases, skill was secondary, and luck was the key.
Yan Bugui continued fishing patiently.
In the middle, he also lifted two strokes, but both were to exchange for fish food. In fact, these actions had already exposed his impatient attitude. It was a big taboo to be anxious when fishing. If he could not calm down, he might very well be in the air today.
